Do you want to progress at work, but unsure of how to broach the subject with your manager? Are you getting paid what you’re worth in today’s market?

In this episode, we’ll guide you through how to ask for a pay rise: when to bring it up and how to approach the conversation effectively.

It can often seem daunting and impossible to move up a pay grade, and talking about money is still seen as taboo for some. But whether or not a promotion is realistic for you and your job right now, it’s important to develop the skill of advocating for yourself and learn how to communicate this to employers in the right way.

To bring you a step-by-step guide to approaching the pay rise conversation, Jordan is joined by career coach Aimee Bateman.
